ALASKA ACADEMY: EARLY TET CELEBRATION WITH CLASS 2A3

The Vietnamese language class leading up to Tet for the students of class 2A3 is a vibrant and meaningful celebration. The students, dressed in colorful traditional ao dai, beam with excitement as they enter the festively decorated classroom, filled with the delightful aroma of traditional green sticky rice cakes (bánh chưng).

The lesson, focusing on the fundamentals of nouns, verbs, and punctuation, is eagerly anticipated by the children of class 2A3. To make the lesson engaging, teacher Diệu Ly skillfully incorporates games and questions related to Tet traditions, using captivating clips and slides for illustration.

Through the use of tablets and the Classkick software, the Alaskids gradually uncover the festive atmosphere of Tet. They explore a variety of Tet activities, from wrapping bánh chưng and visiting the spring market to setting off fireworks and praying for prosperity at temples.

Integrating practical activities, communication, and digital technology into teaching has been a hallmark of Alaska Academy. This approach transforms lessons from mere knowledge transfer into meaningful, enjoyable experiences for the Alaskids as they grow.
